KI 2019: Artificial Intelligence

23-26 Sep 2019
Kassel, Germany

KI 2019 --- Joint Calls (Papers / Tutorials and Workshops / Doctoral 
Consortium)
====================================================

The German conference on Artificial Intelligence (abbreviated KI for 
?Künstliche Intelligenz?) has developed from a series of unofficial meetings 
and workshops, organized by the German ?Gesellschaft für Informatik? 
(association for computer science, GI), into an annual conference series 
dedicated to research on theory and applications of intelligent system 
technology. While KI is primarily attended by researchers from Germany and 
neighboring countries, it warmly welcomes international participation.

Conference website: http://www.ki2019.de

The KI 2019 conference takes place in Kassel, Germany, September 23th-26th 
2019, and will be held in conjunction with the 49th Annual Conference of the 
German Computer Science Association: INFORMATIK 2019 
(http://informatik2019.de).



Submission Guidelines
==============

Main Conference
---------------

We invite papers, which have to be in English and formatted according to the 
Springer LNCS style, in the following three categories:

Full technical papers (12 pages max., excluding references) are expected to 
report on new research that makes a substantial technical contribution to the 
field. Additional details may be included in an appendix, which, however, will 
be read at the discretion of the PC.
Technical communications (6 pages max., excluding references) can report on 
research in progress or other issues of interest to the AI community. Examples 
of work suitable for technical communication paper submissions include: novel 
ideas whose scope is not large enough for a full paper; important 
implementation techniques; novel interesting benchmark problems; short 
experimental studies; interesting applications that are not yet completely 
solved or analyzed; position or challenge papers. Technical communication 
submissions are especially invited for software demonstration or PhD work in 
progress.
Abstracts of papers accepted at (most recent editions of) major AI conferences 
(3 pages max., excluding references) are welcome to bring together German 
members of the international AI community. Abstracts of accepted papers will be 
evaluated based on the ranking of the venue it has been accepted for. We 
especially invite abstract of papers from A or A* ranked AI conferences.
Submission will be through the EasyChair conference management system.

Full papers and technical communications will be subject to blind peer review 
based on the standard criteria of relevance, significance of results, 
originality of ideas, soundness, and quality of the presentation. Papers 
accepted in this process will be published in the main conference proceedings, 
published by Springer in the LNAI series  and will be presented at the 
conference. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the 
conference and present the contribution. The 3 page paper abstracts will be 
bundled and included in an preface or appendix section of the conference 
proceedings.

https://easychair.org/cfp/KI2019

Proposals for Workshops and Tutorials
-------------------------------

We invite proposals for workshops and tutorials to be held at the first day 
(September 23) of the conference week (September 23-26). Topics include all 
subareas of artificial intelligence as well as their foundations and 
applications.

Proposals of workshops/tutorials should be PDF documents of up to three pages 
and written in English. For more details on the required documents and the 
submission procedure, visit http://www.ki2019.de/cfwt/

Doctoral Consortium
-----------------

The doctoral consortium provides an opportunity for PhD students to discuss 
their research interests and career objectives with established researchers in 
AI and network with other participants. The doctoral consortium will expose 
students to different areas of research within AI and help build professional 
connections within the international community of AI researchers.

Proposals for the doctoral consortium should be PDF documents of three to five 
pages and written in English. For more details on the required documents and 
the submission procedure, visit https://www.ki2019.de/call-doctoral-consortium/
